An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 4.10 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 6.20 m

below. Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water. (Assume that the eagle is flying in the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.)

Answer:

V=11.74m/s, 69.59°

Explanation:

From newtons equation of motion ,we know that

V^2 = u^2+2gh

for the rt

For the vertical component of the speed

Vy^2=V0^2+ 2gh

Vy= the final speed in the vertical axis

V0= initial speed, 0m/s

g= acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s

h=height/distance between the eagle and the lake

Vy^2= 2*9.81*6.2

Vy =√121.644

Vy=11.02m/s

The resultant speed will be

V=(Vy^2+Vx^2)^0.5

V=(11.02^2+4.1^2)^0.5

V=137.7241^0.5

V=11.74m/s

Direction

Tan^-1(11.02/4.1)

β=69.59°

V=11.74m/s, 69.59°

Answer =11.74m/s, b°

prisoha [69]

Answer:

A velocity of 20 \: km/h

Explanation:

Since the magnitude of the vector is equal to the magnitude of velocity, velocity of the 2 cm vector represents a velocity of $10\times 2= 20 \: km/h$.

Calculate the final velocity right after a 117 kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.45 m/s collides head‑on with a padd
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

v_f = 0.87 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

F_avg = -17700 N (negative because it's backward)

m = 117 kg

Δt = 5.50 × 10^(−2) s

v_i = 7.45 m/s

Now, formula for impulse is given by;

I = F•Δt = - 17700 x 5.50 × 10^(−2) = - 973.5 kg.m/s

From impulse momentum theory, we know that;

Change in momentum of particle is equal to impulse.

Thus,

Δp = I = m•v_f - m•v_i

Thus,

-973.5= 117(v_f - 7.45)

Thus,

-973.5/117 = (v_f - 7.45)

-8.3205 + 7.45 = v_f

v_f = - 0.87 m/s

We'll take absolute value as;

v_f = 0.87 m/s

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s

A group of humans traveling in space discover a habitable planet. They settle down there and start populating it. Their populati
storchak [24]

Answer:

10 years

Explanation:

As you can understand from the question it is given that the planet is already filled to half of its capacity. Also the population doubles in 10 years. To fill up the planet completely the population needs to double only once. To do that only 10 years are required.

As it is mentioned there are no other factors affecting the growth rate, in 10years the planet will be filled to its carrying capacity.
